A six-year-old (or so) turns to his mom and says:
"Mommy, don't we already have that book at home?"
It's a fairly in-depth study of Taoism. I'm psyched that they have it prominently displayed enough for Junior to recognize it. I like knowing what books six-year-olds know are in their parents' homes.
"Yes, but Daddy writes in his copies of books and it's distracting."

"I've heard 'Eat, Pray, Love' is a great memoir but she talks about pizza. I don't want to read it because it might mess up my diet."
